69' nova

[Oregon]

New lower shock plates came in today so I was able to finish up the multi-leaf conversion. Something to note is that when you order a DSE drop leaf kit it doesn't include the multi-leaf u-bolt bolts, spacer blocks, or upper locating plate. It also ships with single bolt shock ends. If you use a shock with an eye on the bottom leaf plate, you need to find or order the correct shock plates ( I think they are just the normal multi-leaf plates). I'm sure all this is probably obvious but after talking with them about my conversion I was told I did not need a new plate ... which I then had to order later to finish the conversion.



I also worked on the front brake conversion today. Packed the bearings and installed the hubs. I also did a quick mock up of the wheels to get an idea of caliper clearance. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the rotors so I can't get an accurate measurement yet but yikes! It's going to be close. I wouldn't doubt if I end up needing a 1/8" spacer or so.
